We call those barracuda reporters

Even journalists don't like other journalists badgering their interview victims. You wouldn't likely know tha being a sales slug. Chris Matthews on MSNBC is one but there are many. They ask what we call "Gotcha questions."

Like posing the question, "Are you still beating your wife?"

If the victim answers YES, you have a wifebeater on your hands. If the victim answers NO, your response on camera is another question, "Oh you admit beating your wife but you just don't do it anymore."
